Description

発明の分野
本発明は、飲料用瓶などの製品を梱包するバスケット型キャリアに関する。特に、６個の製品を梱包するバスケット型キャリアに関する。
発明の背景
飲料用瓶の梱包に、バスケット型キャリアが一般的に使用されている。これは通常、瓶を容易に取り出すことができる瓶ごとの別個のセル、およびパッケージを容易に運搬するための中央の取手パネルを含む。隣接する瓶の接触は、瓶の破損を防止するため、横方向の仕切り、および中央の縦方向の仕切りによって防止される。通常、６本の瓶を保持するよう設計されたこのタイプのバスケット型キャリアは、ブランクから製作され、これに側面および端パネルと中央の取手パネルとが順番に互いに接続し、細長い長方形の配置構成を形成し、横方向の仕切りを分割するセルが、中央の取手パネルの上縁または下縁に接続するフラップから形成される。キャリアの形成には、フラップの端部を側面パネルに接着して仕切りを所定の位置に保持する前に、これらのフラップを所定の位置に折り曲げる必要がある。
この配置構成の一つの問題は、分割仕切りフラップがパネル区画から横方向に延びることである。その結果、ブランク同士の間隔が比較的広いウェブのレイアウトになり、そのため大量の材料を使用することになる。さらに、分割仕切りフラップを横方向にレイアウトするため、接着作業を比較的複雑にする必要があり、この配置構成のセル分割仕切りフラップを所定の位置に折り曲げる必要があるため、移動ウェブの速度を比較的遅くする必要があるので、キャリアの費用が増大する。
本発明の目的は、材料の使用および必要な接着パターンに関して、より効率的なレイアウトから形成することができる、６本瓶用キャリアを提供することである。もう一つの目的は、梱包された瓶を十分に保護することができる、キャリアを提供することである。
発明の簡単な要約
バスケット型キャリアでよくあるように、本発明のキャリアは、底パネル、側面パネル、端パネルおよび中央の取手パネルを備える。取手パネルは、対向する端部で端パネルに接続し、仕切りパネルが取手パネルと側面パネルとの間に延びる。折れ曲がる状態で各側面パネルの上縁に接続する仕切りフラップは、側面パネルの内面に接着され、２枚の仕切りパネルが、各仕切りフラップに接続する。各仕切りフラップは、切り落とし部分を含み、そこから仕切りパネルの１枚が形成されている。
各仕切りパネルは、一方端が仕切りフラップに、他方端が取手パネルに接着された接着フラップに、折れ曲がる状態で接続する。また、仕切りフラップの切り落とし部分から形成されたのではない仕切りパネルは、折れ曲がる状態で仕切りフラップの縁に接続し、他の仕切りパネルの接着フラップを形成した切り落とし部分を含むことが好ましい。
キャリアは、一方端に端パネルを、他方端に取手パネル区画を含む細長いブランクから形成される。ブランクを迅速に折り曲げ、接着して折り畳んだ状態のキャリアを形成し、その後、梱包作業中にこれを開くことができる。
本発明の上記およびその他の特徴および目的は、以下の好ましい実施例に関する詳細な説明から、容易に確認される。

好ましい実施例の詳細な説明
図１を参照すると、本発明のバスケット型キャリア１０は、端パネル１４に接続する中央の取手パネル１２を含む。端パネルは、側面パネル１６および１８に接続し、側面パネルは、本図では見えない底パネルに接続する。瓶またはその他の物品を受ける個々のセルは、側面パネルから取手パネル１２に延びる横方向の仕切り２０および２２によって形成される。本図では、取手パネルの観察者に面した側にある仕切りのみが見えるが、取手パネルの反対側にも同様の仕切りが配置されていることが理解される。取手パネルは、取手グリップの開口部２４を含む。この図のその他の参照番号で指示されたキャリアのその他の特徴については、他の図に於いて以下で言及する。
図２を参照すると、図１で使用したのと同様の参照番号は、同様の要素を指示し、ブランク２６は、概ね細長い長方形の形状として図示され、底パネル・フラップおよび取手フラップが、本体部から横方向に延びる。ブランクの一方端で、部分的端パネル・フラップ２８が、折り線３０で側面パネル区画１６に接続し、これは、折り線３２によって端パネル区画３４に接続する。他方の側面パネル区画１８は、折り線３６によって端パネル区画３４に、折り線４０によって端パネル区画３８に接続する。ブランクの他方端では、取手パネル区画１２が、折り線４２によって端パネル区画３８に、折り線４６によって装着フラップ４４に接続する。折り線４２はスリット４８によって中断し、端パネル区画３８の範囲を規定する。同様に、折り線４６はスリット５０によって中断し、接着フラップ４４の範囲を規定する。折り線５２で取手パネル区画１２の上縁に接続するのは、取手パネルの延長部５４で、これは取手パネル区画１２と同様、取手の開口部２４を含む。
断続的な折り線５６によって側面パネル区画１６の上縁に接続するのは、仕切りフラップ５８である。仕切りフラップは、２本の断続的な垂直の折り線６０および６２を含み、前者は下方向に延びて折り線３０に整合し、後者は折り線５６の外側端へと下方向に延びる。折り線６０および６２を中断し、この折り線から横方向に延びるのは、それぞれスリット６４および６６である。さらに、連続的なスリット６８が仕切りフラップ５８から延び、上部折り線区分６２を越え、下部折り線区分６２に戻る。スリット６８の一部は、側面パネル区画の上縁の、折り線区分５６間の一部と一致する。スリット６８の端部は、垂直の折り線７０の端部で終了し、これは横方向に延びるスリット７２によって中断する。スリット６４および折り線区分６０が、仕切り２２の一方端に接着フラップ７４を形成し、仕切りフラップ５８の折り線区分６２に隣接する部分が、仕切り２２の他方端の接着フラップとして機能する。同様の方法で、スリット６６および６８と、スリット６８の水平区域内の折り線区分６２が、仕切り２０の一方端で接着フラップ７６を形成し、仕切りフラップ５８の折り線区分７０に隣接する部分が、仕切り２０の他方端の接着フラップとして機能する。仕切りフラップ５８と、仕切り２０および２２との同様の配置構成が、側面パネル区画１８との関連で提供される。
折り線７８で側面パネル区画１６の下縁に接続するのは、内側底パネル・フラップ８０で、外側底パネル・フラップ８２は、折り線８４で側面パネル区画１８の下縁に接続する。外側底パネル・フラップ８２は、２次ロック・タブ８６および１次ロック・タブ８８を含み、後者は折り線９２を中断するスリット９０で形成される。１次ロック開口部９４および２次ロック・スリット９６が、内側底パネル・フラップ８０に設けられ、１次および２次ロック・タブ２９を受ける。
折り線３０、３２、３６、４０、４２および４６は互いに平行で、ブランクから形成されるキャリア内で垂直に延び、折り線７８および８４は、ブランクの主要な長方形本体の下縁に整合し、垂直の折り線とほぼ直角を形成する。
ブランクからキャリアを形成するには、図２の点描で示すように、取手パネル延長部５４および接着フラップ５８に接着剤を塗布する。仕切り２０および２２または接着フラップ７４および７６には、接着剤を塗布しない。２層構造の整合した取手開口部２４を囲む領域を形成するよう、取手パネル延長部５４を折り線５２で下に折り曲げ、取手パネル区画１２の上部に接着させる。仕切りフラップ５８を折り線５６で下に折り曲げ、該仕切りフラップを側面パネル１６および１８に接着させる。その結果形成された、ブランクの暫定的な構成を図３に示す。
次に、図３の点描で示すように、接着フラップ４４、端パネル区画３４に重なる接着フラップ７４、および側面パネル区画１８に重なる接着フラップ７６に接着剤を塗布する。次に、取手パネル区画１２および部分的端パネル区画３８を、折り線４０を中心にして図４に示す位置に回転する。このようにして、接着フラップ４４を、重なった端パネル区画３４に接着し、接着フラップ７４および７６を、重なった取手パネル区画１２に接着する。
次に、図４の点描で示すように、端パネル区画３８の指示部分、端パネル区画２８に重なる接着フラップ７４、および側面パネル区画１６に重なる接着フラップ７６に、接着剤を塗布する。次に、側面パネル区画１６および端パネル区画２８を、折り線３２を中心に回転して、図５に示す折り畳んだ状態のキャリアを形成する。このように、端パネル区画２８および３８は互いに接着され、図４に示す接着フラップ７４および７６は、重なった取手パネル区画１２に接着される。端部の折り線３２および４０に対して対向する内向きの力をかけ、折り畳んだ状態のキャリアを直立させた後、キャリアの底パネルを形成することができる。
キャリアの底パネルの特定のデザインは、本発明の一特徴ではなく、したがって底パネルは任意の適切なデザインでよい。図示のブランクのデザインから底パネルを形成することについては、当業者には、折り畳んだ状態のキャリアを直立させた後に、フラップ８２の端部分がフラップ８０の端部分と重なるよう底パネル・フラップ８０及び８２を折ることが理解される。最初に折り線９２に沿ってフラップ８２の外側部分を折り戻し、次にその通常の平面位置に向かって折り戻すことにより、１次ロック・タブ８８をロック開口部９４の直線の縁と噛み合わせることができる。次に、２次ロック・タブ８６をスリット９６に挿入して、１次ロックが外れないようにすることができる。底パネルを完成すると、図１のキャリアになる。
図１、６および７で最もよく分かるように、該キャリアの取手パネル１２は部分的端パネル区画３８に一体接続し、接着フラップ４４によって端パネル３４に接続する。これは、接着フラップ７６および７４によって、それぞれ仕切りパネル２０および２２にも接続する。仕切りパネル２０および２２は、仕切りフラップ５８によって側面パネルに接続する。その結果、効果的に瓶を分離する、非常に丈夫な６本瓶用キャリアになる。
仕切り２０および２２の特定の形状は、図面に図示したデザインから変形できることが理解される。しかし、仕切りを仕切りフラップ５８に一体接続し、スリット６８および７０に沿って仕切りフラップから仕切り２０を打ち出せるようにするため仕切りの周囲は不規則な形状になることが予想される。さらに、仕切りの高さは、隣接する瓶が互いに接触しないような高さとすべきである。
仕切りが、側面パネル区画の上縁に接続する仕切りフラップから形成されるので、通常と異なって仕切りを取手パネルに接続する必要がなく、それによってブランクの横方向の突起がかなり省略される。そのため、隣接するブランク間の間隔が最小になるよう、ブランクを打ち抜くウェブにおいてブランクをレイアウトすることができ、したがって材料の使用量が削減される。本デザインのさらに別の利点は、接着作業を高速で実施できることである。これは、ブランクが非常に狭く、接着剤を塗布する領域も非常に狭くなり、これによってブランクが通常より高速で接着剤ヘッドを通過することが可能となる。これによってキャリアのブランクをより高速で形成できるので、作業費が削減される。
キャリアを、瓶を梱包するバスケット型キャリアに関して述べてきたが、他のタイプの物品、特に互いに直接接触してはならない物品の梱包に使用できることが理解される。
本明細書で述べた様々なデザイン特徴は、物品を６個保持する効果的かつ丈夫なバスケット型キャリアを、迅速かつ経済的に生産する能力に寄与する。しかし、本発明は、特許請求の範囲に入るものを除き、好ましい実施例に関して述べた個々の詳細すべてに限定されるものでなく、本発明の全体的な基本的機能および概念を変更することなく、好ましい実施例の特定の特徴を変更することが企図されることが理解される。 FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a basket type carrier for packing products such as beverage bottles. In particular, the present invention relates to a basket type carrier for packing six products.
Background of the invention Basket-type carriers are commonly used for packaging beverage bottles. This typically includes a separate cell for each bottle from which the bottles can be easily removed, and a central handle panel to easily carry the package. Adjacent bottle contact is prevented by a horizontal divider and a central vertical divider to prevent bottle breakage. Typically this type of basket-type carrier, designed to hold six bottles, is made from a blank, to which side and end panels and a central handle panel are connected together in sequence, and an elongated rectangular arrangement And the cell dividing the lateral partition is formed from a flap that connects to the upper or lower edge of the central handle panel. In order to form the carrier, it is necessary to fold these flaps to a predetermined position before the end portions of the flaps are bonded to the side panel and the partition is held at the predetermined position.
One problem with this arrangement is that the divider flaps extend laterally from the panel section. The result is a web layout with a relatively wide spacing between blanks, which uses a large amount of material. Furthermore, since the dividing partition flaps are laid out in the horizontal direction, it is necessary to make the bonding work relatively complicated, and it is necessary to bend the cell dividing partition flaps of this arrangement configuration in place, so the speed of the moving web is compared. The cost of the carrier increases.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a six-bottle carrier that can be formed from a more efficient layout with regard to material use and the required adhesion pattern. Another object is to provide a carrier that can adequately protect the packaged bottle.
As is typical in brief summary <br/> basket type carrier of the invention, the carrier of the present invention comprises a bottom panel, side panels, end panels and a central handle panel. The handle panel is connected to the end panel at opposite ends, and the partition panel extends between the handle panel and the side panel. The partition flap connected to the upper edge of each side panel in a bent state is bonded to the inner surface of the side panel, and the two partition panels are connected to each partition flap. Each partition flap includes a cut-off portion, from which one partition panel is formed.
Each partition panel is connected in a folded state to a partition flap at one end and to an adhesive flap whose other end is bonded to a handle panel. Moreover, it is preferable that the partition panel which is not formed from the cut-off part of the partition flap includes a cut-off part which is connected to the edge of the partition flap in a bent state and forms an adhesive flap of another partition panel.
The carrier is formed from an elongated blank that includes an end panel at one end and a handle panel section at the other end. The blank can be quickly folded and glued to form a folded carrier that can then be opened during the packing operation.
These and other features and objects of the present invention will be readily ascertained from the following detailed description of the preferred embodiment.

Detailed Description of the Preferred Embodiment Referring to Figure 1, a basket-type carrier 10 of the present invention includes a central handle panel 12 that connects to an end panel 14. The end panels connect to the side panels 16 and 18, and the side panels connect to the bottom panel not visible in this figure. Individual cells that receive bottles or other articles are formed by lateral partitions 20 and 22 that extend from the side panels to the handle panel 12. In this figure, only the partition on the side of the handle panel facing the observer is visible, but it will be understood that a similar partition is also arranged on the opposite side of the handle panel. The handle panel includes a handle grip opening 24. Other features of the carrier indicated by other reference numbers in this figure will be referred to below in other figures.
Referring to FIG. 2, reference numbers similar to those used in FIG. 1 indicate similar elements, the blank 26 is illustrated as a generally elongated rectangular shape, and the bottom panel flap and handle flap are shown in the body portion. Extends laterally from At one end of the blank, a partial end panel flap 28 connects to the side panel section 16 at a fold line 30, which connects to the end panel section 34 by a fold line 32. The other side panel section 18 is connected to the end panel section 34 by a fold line 36 and to the end panel section 38 by a fold line 40. At the other end of the blank, the handle panel section 12 is connected to the end panel section 38 by a fold line 42 and to the mounting flap 44 by a fold line 46. Fold line 42 is interrupted by slit 48 and defines the extent of end panel section 38. Similarly, the fold line 46 is interrupted by the slit 50 and defines the area of the adhesive flap 44. Connected at the fold line 52 to the upper edge of the handle panel section 12 is a handle panel extension 54 which, like the handle panel section 12, includes a handle opening 24.
Connected to the upper edge of the side panel section 16 by intermittent fold lines 56 is a divider flap 58. The divider flap includes two intermittent vertical fold lines 60 and 62, the former extending downwardly to align with the fold line 30 and the latter extending downward to the outer end of the fold line 56. It is the slits 64 and 66 that interrupt the fold lines 60 and 62 and extend laterally from the fold lines, respectively. Further, a continuous slit 68 extends from the partition flap 58, passes over the upper fold line section 62 and returns to the lower fold line section 62. A portion of the slit 68 coincides with a portion between the fold line sections 56 at the upper edge of the side panel section. The end of the slit 68 ends at the end of a vertical fold line 70, which is interrupted by a slit 72 extending in the lateral direction. The slit 64 and the fold line section 60 form an adhesive flap 74 at one end of the partition 22, and a portion adjacent to the fold line section 62 of the partition flap 58 functions as an adhesive flap at the other end of the partition 22. In a similar manner, the slits 66 and 68 and the fold line section 62 in the horizontal section of the slit 68 form an adhesive flap 76 at one end of the partition 20 and the portion of the partition flap 58 adjacent to the fold line section 70 is It functions as an adhesive flap at the other end of the partition 20. A similar arrangement of the divider flap 58 and the dividers 20 and 22 is provided in the context of the side panel compartment 18.
Connected to the lower edge of side panel section 16 at fold line 78 is an inner bottom panel flap 80 and outer bottom panel flap 82 connects to the lower edge of side panel section 18 at fold line 84. The outer bottom panel flap 82 includes a secondary locking tab 86 and a primary locking tab 88, the latter being formed by a slit 90 that interrupts the fold line 92. A primary lock opening 94 and a secondary lock slit 96 are provided in the inner bottom panel flap 80 to receive the primary and secondary lock tabs 29.
The fold lines 30, 32, 36, 40, 42 and 46 are parallel to each other and extend vertically in the carrier formed from the blank, the fold lines 78 and 84 align with the lower edge of the main rectangular body of the blank, Forms a right angle with the vertical fold line.
To form the carrier from the blank, an adhesive is applied to the handle panel extension 54 and the adhesive flap 58 as shown by the stippling in FIG. No adhesive is applied to the partitions 20 and 22 or the adhesive flaps 74 and 76. The handle panel extension 54 is folded down at the fold line 52 to adhere to the top of the handle panel section 12 so as to form a region surrounding the matched handle opening 24 of the two-layer structure. The partition flap 58 is folded down at the fold line 56 and the partition flap is adhered to the side panels 16 and 18. The resulting provisional blank configuration is shown in FIG.
Next, an adhesive is applied to the adhesive flap 44, the adhesive flap 74 overlying the end panel section 34, and the adhesive flap 76 overlying the side panel section 18, as shown by the stippling in FIG. 3. Next, the handle panel section 12 and the partial end panel section 38 are rotated about the fold line 40 to the position shown in FIG. In this manner, the adhesive flap 44 is bonded to the overlapped end panel section 34 and the adhesive flaps 74 and 76 are bonded to the overlapped handle panel section 12.
Next, an adhesive is applied to the indicating portion of the end panel section 38, the adhesive flap 74 that overlaps the end panel section 28, and the adhesive flap 76 that overlaps the side panel section 16, as shown by the stippling in FIG. 4. Next, the side panel section 16 and the end panel section 28 are rotated about the fold line 32 to form the folded carrier shown in FIG. Thus, the end panel sections 28 and 38 are bonded together and the adhesive flaps 74 and 76 shown in FIG. 4 are bonded to the overlapping handle panel section 12. After applying an inward opposing force against the fold lines 32 and 40 at the ends to erect the folded carrier, the bottom panel of the carrier can be formed.
The particular design of the bottom panel of the carrier is not a feature of the present invention, so the bottom panel may be any suitable design. With respect to forming the bottom panel from the illustrated blank design, those skilled in the art will recognize that the bottom panel flap 80 may overlap the end portion of the flap 80 after the folded carrier is upright. And 82 are understood to be folded. The primary locking tab 88 is engaged with the straight edge of the locking opening 94 by first folding the outer portion of the flap 82 along the fold line 92 and then folding back toward its normal planar position. be able to. A secondary lock tab 86 can then be inserted into the slit 96 to prevent the primary lock from being removed. When the bottom panel is completed, the carrier of FIG. 1 is obtained.
As best seen in FIGS. 1, 6 and 7, the carrier handle panel 12 is integrally connected to the partial end panel section 38 and connected to the end panel 34 by an adhesive flap 44. It also connects to the partition panels 20 and 22 by adhesive flaps 76 and 74, respectively. Partition panels 20 and 22 are connected to the side panels by partition flaps 58. The result is a very strong six bottle carrier that effectively separates the bottles.
It will be appreciated that the particular shape of the partitions 20 and 22 can be varied from the design illustrated in the drawings. However, it is expected that the periphery of the partition will have an irregular shape so that the partition is integrally connected to the partition flap 58 and the partition 20 can be driven out from the partition flap along the slits 68 and 70. Furthermore, the height of the partition should be such that adjacent bottles do not touch each other.
Since the partition is formed from a partition flap that connects to the upper edge of the side panel section, it is not necessary to connect the partition to the handle panel as usual, thereby considerably eliminating the lateral protrusions of the blank. As a result, blanks can be laid out in the web from which the blanks are punched out so that the spacing between adjacent blanks is minimized, thus reducing material usage. Yet another advantage of this design is that the bonding operation can be performed at high speed. This is because the blank is very narrow and the area where the adhesive is applied is also very narrow, which allows the blank to pass through the adhesive head at a higher speed than usual. As a result, the carrier blank can be formed at a higher speed, thereby reducing the operating cost.
Although the carrier has been described with reference to a basket-type carrier for packaging bottles, it is understood that other types of articles can be used, particularly those that should not be in direct contact with each other.
The various design features described herein contribute to the ability to quickly and economically produce an effective and sturdy basket-type carrier that holds six articles. However, the invention is not limited to all individual details set forth with respect to the preferred embodiments except as fall within the scope of the claims, and without altering the overall basic function and concept of the invention. It will be appreciated that certain features of the preferred embodiments are contemplated to be altered.
